2. Rebuilding `p->se.load` from fair's `switching_to` hook. This is the most
natural place semantically, since the task is entering fair and fair
prepares
its own state before enqueue. My only concern was that, for non-ext -> fair
paths, `__setscheduler_params()` may have already updated `p->se.load`
through
`set_load_weight(p, true)`, so calling `set_load_weight(p, false)`
unconditionally here can be redundant logically. Functionally, though, it is
harmless.
Right. We can worry about optimizing this if there's ever a report. I
don't expect this to be noticeable much. If anything, the PI code would
be the one to trip this most often I think.
